Second, I by no means as soon as hinted that I wanted one other winter coat. I had a puffy black winter coat. I’ve had it for some time, and it nonetheless works. It wasn’t till I attempted on the brand new tremendous puffy jacket and walked outdoors right into a snowy winter wonderland that I knew it wasn’t going again to Nordstrom.

For the vacations, we have been already bouncing between households. On one in all our guardian visits round Christmas Eve, I unintentionally (I swear I wasn’t snooping!!) found a hoop field packed together with his garments. I assumed he’d suggest on Christmas day, however I spent the subsequent few days on edge, ready for the second to reach. We completed household visits, and Christmas got here and went, and nonetheless nothing. I doubted I even noticed what I assumed I noticed. Lastly, just a few days later, we have been strolling alongside the lake, and he popped down and requested me the query. I suppose he was ready for the proper second, too. It was the Christmas present I’d hoped for therefore lengthy—then I bought my hopes up and again down; lastly, it occurred, and we simply had our tenth anniversary this 12 months!
